Thread: Marlin 30-30 setup

Well seems I have a mythical sub moa levergun load development went really well, good consistent speeds which is always reassuring.
Like @eamars I got fantastic grouping with a relatively low charge 31gns of 2206h
I didn't get any speeds off the lowest 2 charge weights as my magneto chrono wouldn't read mounted off the mag tube.
Fortunately my mate showed up with his Caldwell stand alone chrono so I got speeds off all the rest.
After smashing a sub moa group with the lowest charge I was a bit concerned none of the higher charges would group better....but I was wrong.
I'll let the pics do the talking





Lowest charge speed unknown but at a guess about 2150fps it was very light recoil.



Max load .5gn above book max still pleasant to shoot avg speed over 3 rounds was 2351fps with a spread of 18fps
